were consumed in the effort to secure tw elve
men who were willing to give the defend
ants az unbiased trial on the evidence.
nell began the opening speech for the
prosecution, which took less than two
hours and half in delivery. He said
he would prove that the anarchists
were armed in the city for the pur-
pose of murder. and that the throwing of
the bomb at the Haymarket meeting was
only part of deep-rooted conspiracy which
had for It's object the destruction by bomb
and FIRE Of the police stations and other pub
lie buildings, as well as general murder of
tho police and capitalists He charged that
Lngg manufactured the bomb, and declared
that he would try to prove who threw it
Early next day Judge Gary ruled that the
existence of q general conspiracy to annihi-
late the police force and destroy property
rendered the defendants, who were instiga-,
tors in it, liable for an act looking to such
annihilation and destruction, even If COM
mitted without their specific sanction at
that particular time and place. This ruling
was q surprise to the defense, and drew
from Mr.. Ingham an outline of the course Of
testimony which the state proposed to intro
duce.
woRKNGMEN, TO ARMS!
Inspector John Bonfield was then placed
on the stand, and testified as to the facts of
the bomb throwing. Gottfried Waller, q
member of the Lehr und Wehr Verein, who
presided at the meeting May 3, wien it is
planned, testified, through an interpreter, to
having heard Engel say that the Northwest
side group of anarchists had resolved to
come to the aid of the workingmen in any
conflict they might have with the police over

THE GOVERNOR SILENT
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov 2-There is moth
ing to be said as to the probable action of
the governor in the anarchist case, as he 0e-
clines to say anything on the subject. He
received number of letters and
petitions on the subject to-day, and and
three Chicago ladies visited him
in the interest Of the condemned men. The
feeling is almost universal here that he will
not interfere with the sentence OF the court,
and that the conditions are such that he can
not There is bare possibility that he may
interpose clemency in the interest OF Fiel6en
and Schwab. though he has said nothing to
indicate even this.

Az to Village Assessments.

Attorney General Clapp has rendered an
opinion affecting village assessments, and
holds that under recent decision OF the
supreme court, property of villages, ex.
cept as to road purposes, should be as
sessed as part OF the town property, pro.
vided that the village has not been made
tion law OF last winter. The decision is as
follows:
Under the recent decision Of the supreme
court Of this state, villages incorporated
under the general laws and which have
not, by action Of the town board Of su-
pervisors, under the provisions of the gen.
eral election law OF last winter, been
made separate election districts are not
separate election districts for village pur-
poses. In view OF this construction of the
law and in the absence of any statutory
provision taking the village out and apart
from the town, except for road purposes,
l am inclined to think that the su.
preme court would hold that the
property of the village, except
as to road purposes. shall be
assessed as part of the town property;
that is, at least, except in cases where un.
der the provisions OF the election law Of
last winter, the village may have been
made by the town board a separate cleo
ton district. 1 am not prepared to say
but in the absence OF that action l am
quite firmly OF the opinion that villages
incorporated under the general law OF this
state, except as to road matters, should
be assessed as part OF the town.

The Wheat Yield In Minnesota
and Dakota,

The Pioneer Press presents an estimate
Of the wheat crop of Minnesota and Dako-
ia based on reports from correspondents
in every wheat-growins county in the state
and territory. Most of the reports from
these correspondents are based on actual
many Of them coming from the
owners of threshers themselves. OF
course it is not expected at this time. when
the crop is only two.thirds threshed. that
the exact figures CT the yield can be had,
but it can be taken that the following esti.
mate of the crop is as near the fact- as
can be obtained at this time. The average
yield per acre in Minnesota on the
present crop is 12k bushels, which on
3, DAG. 900 acres would yield 38. .OS5. 900
bushels. In Dakota. the increase in acre
age this year is about 400, OOO making a
total of 3, ,O75, 900. The average yield per
acre ia 15h bushels, making the total
crop 47,662, 900. This means a
total crop for Minnesota and Dakota OF
S5,747 900, or Sc, 600, 900, in round mum.
bers. as the average in Minnesota was a
little mora than 12k bushels. exact figures
being 1877 bushels. The present crop in Min.
nesota is 8, ,71O,O 900 bushels less than the
crop OF 1886, reported by the state depart
ment, and about 4, ZOO. 900 less than the
amount given by the Washington bureau.
With the exception of six counties
in Southern Minnesota, the crop this wear
is nearly all good quality. The quality of
the crop of Minnesota and Dakota is gen.
orally very good. There is, perhaps, a lit
tie less No. hard this year than last, but
there is high average OF good milling
wheat.
The dockage for dirt this year is the
largest ever known, and this is matter
which should be brought to the attention
OF every farmer in the Northwest. The
average dockage in Minnesota and Dakota
this year is three and one-half pounds per
bushel.
This item alone on $4,000, 900 bushels
| is an enormous expense, and the most OF
it comes out OF the farmers pocket in the
end. The movement of wheat from farm
ers hands 80 far this crop has not been as
large in Minnesota as last year, but in
Dakota it is about the same.

special Correspondence
FRANKFORT, KY, April 81.
There was, perhaps, no more prominent
factor in the early history Of Kentucky and
the great northwestern territory than Col
Richard NJ. johnson. He died nearly forty
years ago, and his name is associated with
the killing of the great Indian chief, Tecum-
sch, and the vice presidency Of the United
States under the administration of President
Martin Van Buren,. Yet few readers in this
swiftly moving age have paused retrospect
lively long enough to dwell upon the value of
his services or wonder at his end. Fewer still
know that his last resting place is in Frank
fort, KY, and marked by handsome monu-
ment erected by his native commonwealth
The cemetery, situated on one of the sur
rounding hills, commands a fine view of
the city and the Kentucky river. The most
conspicuous feature in the cemetery Is a shaft
sixty-two feet in height reared in 1850 by
the state at cost of 81, 900, to perpetuate the
fame of the kentuckians who fell in the
pioneer and later wars of the nation At the
foot of this shaft, among Others is the grave
of Henry Clay, Jr., son of the great com
moner Of that name, and who fell at the
battle of Buena Vista, in 1917. Fan
